What People Are Saying About Hobson's Choice Bar

The Scene – The decor is early Victorian, but the atmosphere is young and somewhat upwardly mobile. Stuffed with antique couches and internists from UCSF, Hobson's gets raucous on the weekends (it's a wonder the faux-Tiffany lamps survive). Regulars grab a coveted perch by the full-length windows to peep the Haight Street goings-on, or linger at the expansive bar to savor some heady conversation. The upstairs balcony helps folks keep tabs on the eligible, well-built patrons. – – The Draw – Rum by the barrel-full is the house specialty--including its own…

Even Macho dudes drink their Pink Concoctions!

great bar, great service, great location. the only thing I would change is the Juke Box; it needs some umph. The lack of choice music doesn't keep me from coming in here, though, cuz as I've said, the place is great.

I can't believe this place only has three reviews - this is possibly my favorite bar of all time. The atmophere is relaxed and friendly - it's the perfect place to grab a few drinks with friends any day of the week. It's definitely not a meat market - although people are friendly you don't feel like you're being evaluated the minute you walk in. The jukebox has a great mix of alternative, indie rock, and good hip hop and customers happily pick the tunes. You can order any drink you want, but you should at least try the yummy rum punches from the bowls on the bar - I like the red. You can get here conveniently after work via the N or any of the Haight Street buslines.
- Pros: friendly atmosphere, good drinks, good music
- Cons: i suppose if you drive parking could be a hassle

Excellent service, fantastic drinks!

A great place to drink, and the best palce to learn about rum. Everyone has a good time here it seems, and the locals are very friendly. The upstairs is often empty and a good place to chill if the bar is hopping (as it seems to be on weekend nights). We'll be back to try some more rum punches soon!
- Pros: happy hour, staff is great, friendly
- Cons: parking
